Now that Brigitte Bardot is dead... Isn't it surprising how many of the people considered exceptional, free-spiritual and groundbreaking in the 50's, 60's and 70's then turned out to be really awful in the end?

Detta är sinnesrubbade kommentarer från SVT:s ansvarige som i likhet med en avdankad högerextrem ex-politiker vill att Gina Dirawi ska hålla käft om att hon är palestinier. Vilket reaktionärt jävla haveri toppskiktet i svensk public service är för tillfället. www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/...

Hittar ännu inte @bjornwiman.bsky.social s eminenta söndagskrönika på nätet, men vad ni än gör: Läs den. Och sluta rycka på axlarna.

I spent December making a little Bluesky Christmas Calendar where every day got a video clip I really like. Because video clips are art.

Santa Claus was born and lived in Antalya. He would struggle to find an appointment for visa or see a refusal with the reason: Your travel plan is not clear enough. Schengen isn’t travel independence, it is a major restriction on it. There is also life outside your borders. No visa, no delays 🇪🇺🎁

When you move to a different country, especially early on in your career, you (inadvertently) give up all your connections and safety nets So many years later I'm still struggling to make up for lost time I don't know the "secret handshakes", where to go, who to talk to

Re-sharing my latest, about getting through the holidays as an estranged person ... www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new... tl;dr fuck the clowns who scold people like me that we've made the wrong call. you know *nothing* of what i have survived.

Alas! It is 31 years since the world was deprived of one of its more colourful culinary characters: Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey – better known as double bigamist, child abandoner, amphetamine user, dangerous driver, and celebrity cook Fanny Cradock

The sunshine over Helsinki right now is a real sugar rush. December has been so dark and suddenly there is light and it's wonderful.

Social media is fun and all, but sometimes I want to write longer and will turn to my blog. Scribbled some words about a new favourite album.

Bloggade lite om en av mina favoritskivor 2025: West End Girl med Lily Allen. tobsonspopkultur.blogspot.com/2025/12/lily...

Tyvärr inget argument för högern men bibliotek, gratis museer och kraftigt subventionerade symfoniorkesterbiljetter har byggt hela min karriär.

14). That the so-called alpha men in society still haven't figured out that homophobia is used to control them... Seriously, straight guys, catch up.

I love this bit from 30 Rock. Jenna Maroney turns being self centered into an art form. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjrF...

Christmas Day walk from Etelä Haaga through the Central Park, via Postipuisto and Pasila, through Käpylä to Oulunkylä where I took the tram home.

READ THIS: Still probably the best #ChristmasEve tradition I’ve heard. Iceland definitely does Christmas well — my Reykjavik clients had funny comments about this! Are you planning to curl up with a great new book on cities this #Christmas? Share your pick with us using hashtag #UrbanismBookClub!

Christmas was calm and as expected and pretty uneventful, just the way I like it.

Our Christmas Eve bus driver was almost unreasonably cheerful, warm, friendly, wished everyone a Merry Christmas. A whole basket full of gold stars to him.

Första gången som det gjorde några förändringar i ”Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar god jul” var 1967 då bl.a. ”Kalle Anka och nötkriget” togs bort.

Första gången som ”I jultomtens verkstad” sändes i färg på julafton var 1978.

Cooking rice porridge and listening to the best Christmas album ever made www.discogs.com/master/45199...

On Christmas Eve, I will get out of bed relatively early and go to the kitchen where I will make rice porridge and listen to Christmas music in a vain attempt to get into the spirit of it all.

Two more days and my calendar will be complete. Have a peek and see if you find a new favourite (or an old one).

I had a MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL thread on Twitter that it had become a bit of a tradition for me to retweet and sometimes add to annually, and I'm going to recreate it here! Buckle in, folks! x

Glædelig #vovsemandag.

I can't explain why but I find this very, very funny. www.instagram.com/reel/DRfXxuV...

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

"In 2004, it took the world a full year to install 1 gigawatt of solar power capacity. Today, twice that amount goes online each day."

Fram till 1970 kunde man ta båten från USA till Göteborg för att fira jul i "det gamla landet"

Really tired tonight and not vibing with anything. In an act of resistance, I will make a list of stuff I like. Let’s see how long it gets.

Rowling: wormtongue, we are going to do sssomething about this black mold Boyne: what will you do your awfulness? Rowling: i'm going to ssue every sssingle perssson on the internet

Christmas Candle Salad. Det finns till och med wikisida om den.

December 18: Clara Luciani / Le reste. A wonderful track in wonderful wrapping; a colourful hommage to the French movie musicals of times gone by. Heartbreak nostalgia with the biggest of smiles. #TobsonCalendar www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0fV...

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

I had to open Office on my own computer because I had some stuff to do from home and didn’t have my work computer with me and suddenly it feels like my dear old Mac is choking. Is it allergic to Copilot?

Today must have been the dullest day of the year, also it was at least 72 hours long. Freaking neverending evening shift with few visitors and nobody that really needed me for anything.

Ticket inspection on the train home. The one checking my ticket was mega handsome so that was silver lining.

𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐲 𝐎𝐰𝐥. 💔 For the first time in 20 years, a bird species has disappeared from the country.

I still listen to West End Girl A LOT and really enjoyed this Lily Allen interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq35...

Uppdaterade texten en smula. Hoppas någon klok förlagsmänniska översätter Ernesto till svenska. #booksky

Män! Nämn fem kvinnliga artister du lyssnar på: Dalida Zazie Annalisa Dusty Springfield Clara Luciani (Kunde lätt blivit en mycket längre lista.)

December 14: Propellerheads feat Shirley Bassey / History Repeating. A truly outstanding track graced with a most outstanding clip. Dame Shirley Bassey dancing is a level of cool few people will ever get close to. #TobsonCalendar youtu.be/yzLT6_TQmq8?...

Snow is falling over Helsinki only it's really wet snow and now my feet are wet and everything is wet and nobody is happy

"Den första maharajan var vår egen Calle Bildt som gjorde ett uselt jobb. Det hindrade honom inte att skriva en ännu mer usel och anekdotisk bok om sina usla år på Balkan." Idag läser vi Sanjin Pejković arbetet.se/2025/12/14/d...
